uncomfortable   by   the   scorn   of   Beauty   towards   Beast�察  �the   public   ��but   to 

whom   she   never   relented�察  �as   Beauty   did   in   the   story�察  �towards   the   other 

Beast���察    �and   where     sensitive   stomachs      were    fed�察 �with    a  contemptuous 

sharpness       occasioning      indigestion。      Here�察    �again�察   �were    stations    with 

nothing going but a bell�察�and wonderful wooden razors set aloft on great 

posts�察�shaving the air。         In these fields�察�the horses�察�sheep�察�and cattle were 

well used to the thundering meteor�察�and didn't mind�察�in those�察�they were all 

set   scampering   together�察  �and   a   herd   of   pigs   scoured   after   them。        The 

pastoral country darkened�察�became coaly�察�became smoky�察�became infernal�察�

got better�察�got worse�察�improved again�察�grew rugged�察�turned romantic�察�was 

a   wood�察  �a   stream�察  �a   chain   of   hills�察  �a   gorge�察  �a   moor�察  �a   cathedral   town�察  �a 

fortified place�察�a waste。         Now�察�miserable black dwellings�察�a black canal�察�

and sick black towers of chimneys�察�now�察�a trim garden�察�where the flowers 

were bright and fair�察�now�察�a wilderness of hideous altars all a´ blaze�察�now�察�

the water meadows with their fairy rings�察�now�察�the mangy patch of unlet 

building ground outside the stagnant town�察�with the larger ring where the 

Circus was last week。          The temperature changed�察�the dialect changed�察�the 

people changed�察�faces got sharper�察�manner got shorter�察�eyes got shrewder 

and harder�察�yet all so quickly�察�that the spruce guard in the London uniform 

and   silver   lace�察  �had   not   yet   rumpled   his   shirt´collar�察  �delivered   half   the 

dispatches in his shiny little pouch�察�or read his newspaper。 

     Carlisle�      �Idle     and   Goodchild       had    got   to   Carlisle。     It   looked 

congenially       and    delightfully    idle。    Something        in  the   way    of   public 

amusement   had   happened   last   month�察  �and   something   else   was   going   to 

happen   before   Christmas�察  �and�察  �in   the   meantime   there   was   a   lecture   on 

India for those who liked it ´ which Idle and Goodchild did not。 Likewise�察�

by those who liked them�察�there were impressions to be bought of all the 

vapid   prints�察  �going   and   gone�察  �and   of   nearly   all   the   vapid   books。     For 

those   who   wanted   to   put   anything   in   missionary   boxes�察  �here   were   the 

boxes。     For those who wanted the Reverend Mr。 Podgers ��artist's proofs�察�

thirty shillings���察�here was Mr。 Podgers to any amount。                   Not less gracious 

and    abundant�察    �Mr。    Codgers     also   of  the   vineyard�察   �but   opposed     to  Mr。 

Podgers�察     �brotherly     tooth    and   nail。    Here�察    �were    guide´books       to   the 

neighbouring   antiquities�察  �and   eke   the   Lake   country�察  �in   several   dry   and

husky sorts�察�here�察�many physically and morally impossible heads of both 

sexes�察�for young ladies to copy�察�in the exercise of the art of drawing�察�here�察�

further�察�a large impression of MR。 SPURGEON�察�solid as to the flesh�察�not 

to say even something gross。             The working young men of Carlisle were 

drawn up�察�with their hands in their pockets�察�across the pavements�察�four and 

six   abreast�察  �and   appeared   ��much   to   the   satisfaction   of   Mr。   Idle��   to   have 

nothing else to do。 The working and growing young women of Carlisle�察�

from the age of twelve upwards�察�promenaded the streets in the cool of the 

evening�察  �and   rallied   the   said   young   men。      Sometimes   the   young   men 

rallied   the   young   women�察  �as   in   the   case   of   a   group   gathered   round   an 

accordion´player�察  �from   among   whom   a   young   man   advanced   behind   a 

young woman for whom he appeared to have a tenderness�察�and hinted to 

her that he was there and playful�察�by giving her ��he wore clogs�� a kick。 

     On market morning�察�Carlisle woke up amazingly�察�and became ��to the 

two Idle Apprentices�� disagreeably and reproachfully busy。                     There were 

its cattle market�察�its sheep market�察�and its pig market down by the river�察�

with raw´boned and shock´headed Rob Roys hiding their Lowland dresses 

beneath      heavy    plaids�察  �prowling     in   and   out   among     the   animals�察   �and 

flavouring   the   air   with   fumes   of   whiskey。      There   was   its   corn   market 

down   the   main   street�察  �with   hum   of   chaffering   over   open   sacks。      There 

was its general market in the street too�察�with heather brooms on which the 

purple   flower still   flourished�察 �and   heather baskets   primitive   and   fresh   to 

behold。      With women trying on clogs and caps at open stalls�察�and 'Bible 

stalls'   adjoining。   With     'Doctor   Mantle's   Dispensary   for   the   cure   of   all 

Human   Maladies   and   no   charge   for   advice��'   and   with   Doctor   Mantle's 

'Laboratory of Medical�察�Chemical�察�and Botanical Science' ´ both healing 

institutions   established   on   one   pair   of   trestles�察  �one   board�察  �and   one   sun´ 

blind。     With    the   renowned      phrenologist     from    London�察    �begging     to  be 

favoured ��at sixpence each�� with the company of clients of both sexes�察�to 

whom�察      �on   examination       of  their   heads�察   �he   would     make     revelations 

'enabling him or her to know themselves。'              Through all these bargains and 

blessings�察�the recruiting´sergeant watchfully elbowed his way�察�a thread of 

War in the peaceful skein。          Likewise on the walls were printed hints that 

the   Oxford   Blues   might   not   be   indisposed   to   hear   of   a   few   fine   active

full six feet�察�'growing lads of five feet eleven' need not absolutely despair 

of being accepted。 

     Scenting the   morning   air more   pleasantly  than the buried   majesty  of 

Denmark did�察�Messrs。 Idle and Goodchild rode away from Carlisle at eight 

o'clock one forenoon�察�bound for the village of Hesket�察�Newmarket�察�some 

fourteen     miles   distant。   Goodchild       ��who    had   already    begun    to  doubt 

whether he was idle�此        �as his way always is when he has nothing to do�� 

had    read   of  a  certain   black   old   Cumberland       hill  or  mountain�察   �called 

Carrock�察�or Carrock Fell�察�and had arrived at the conclusion that it would 

be the culminating triumph of Idleness to ascend the same。                  Thomas Idle�察�

dwelling   on   the  pains   inseparable  from  that   achievement�察  �had   expressed 

the   strongest   doubts   of   the   expediency�察  �and   even   of   the   sanity�察  �of   the 

enterprise�察�but Goodchild had carried his point�察�and they rode away。 

     Up hill and down hill�察�and twisting to the right�察�and twisting to the left�察�

and with old Skiddaw ��who has vaunted himself a great deal more than his 

merits deserve�察�but that is rather the way of the Lake country���察�dodging the 

apprentices in a picturesque and pleasant manner。                Good�察�weather´proof�察�
